Minister extends best wishes to Canada Games athletes

Kevin Aylward, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Recreation, today extended best wishes to Team Newfoundland and Labrador as they will participate in the 2001 Canada Summer Games in London, Ontario from August 11 to 25. Prior to the beginning of the Games, Minister Aylward will participate in a National Meeting of Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers responsible for sport and recreation.

"For many of the athletes, a goal has already been reached by being chosen to represent the province at the Canada Games," said Mr. Aylward. "I commend them for their commitment and perseverance over the years of training and I am extremely proud of each one of them. I know that they will represent our province well in skill, spirit and sportsmanlike conduct. I extend best wishes to each of you as you compete with some of the best amateur athletes in Canada."

Newfoundland and Labrador will be represented at the Games by a contingent of more than 350 individuals. One hundred and sixty-four male athletes, 107 female athletes, 38 coaches, 22 managers and 20 mission staff comprise Team Newfoundland and Labrador. Government provided $400,000 during this fiscal year to provincial sports organizations for the identification, selection and training of our athletes. 

Four young artists from the province will also be a part of Team Newfoundland and Labrador and interpret through their own artistic talents and vision, the athletes and the overall experience. The National Artists Program is a federally funded project which was introduced at the 1999 Canada Winter Games in Corner Brook. The program is intended to bring a cross-cultural focus to highlight our national culture and heritage, as well as to develop and showcase the talents within each of the provinces and territories. 

"It is wonderful to see a national cultural component a part of the Canada Games program. Even though the Games are primarily dominated by athletic activity, the artist program adds a new dimension and allows both our athletes and artists to shine. It provides an opportunity for us to present our own unique culture and heritage and show how it fits into Canada's rich and diverse culture." 

The four promising artists that have been chosen to represent the province at the Canada Summer Games are: Jessica Reid, visual artist; Dana Puddicombe, theatre artist; Joan Marie Jamieson, dance; and, Sean Rice, music. The artists will be a part of the provincial team and take part in the opening and closing ceremonies. 

"I am very grateful for the many coaches and managers and parents who have helped develop these athletes and assist them in reaching their personal goals. Be assured that your contributions and personal sacrifices do not go unnoticed," added Mr. Aylward. "I must also express my sincere appreciation to the mission staff of Team Newfoundland and Labrador for their commitment and hours of work over the past several weeks and months in striving to make this the best Games ever for our athletes."

"I wish Team Newfoundland and Labrador every success at these summer games but, above all, I wish them an experience that promotes athletic excellence and fun."
